Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog 100 Hoops Basketball Counting Game
Customer Review: Expensive for what you get
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge fan of LeapFrog products and so far we haven't bought any we were disappointed with or that our son didn't enjoy immensely, but 100 Hoops seems to be overpriced for what you receive. It's not a horrible first try for LeapFrog's first venture into sports toys, but there are better options out there for basketball hoops for children of this age range.
The basketball hoop itself is very small, which is nice for 2-3-year-olds but I can't see an 8-year-old playing with this as the age recommendation suggests. The backboard is very small, almost the exact size of a standard notebook. The hoop is also very small, no more than 6 inches in diameter, and the ball is about the right size for a young toddler to hold in the palm of one hand. Everything about the size suggests that it's a toddler toy, but it teaches advanced counting by multiples, and I don't know any toddlers who are ready to do that!
The quality is what you would expect from a LeapFrog toy on the actual hoop and digital display panel. Very durable and well made. But the backboard that slips into a groove on the display panel is just cardboard. Not your average flimsy cardboard, but cardboard nonetheless and fairly easily damaged. If the cardboard backboard is ruined, it's only a cosmetic loss because you will still be able to mount the toy as normal and it won't affect functionality at all. But it's still not what you would expect from a high quality company like LeapFrog.
The sound quality is exceptional as well, as is normal with LeapFrog toys. There's lots of cheering and realistic sound effects and the numbers are crisp and clear when announced. The ability to learn to count to 100 in either English or Spanish is also a plus, but still not enough to convince me that this toy is worth [...]
Overall, the counting feature is a nice learning bonus which is something no other basketball hoop that I have ever seen has even come close to, but for the size and the fact that it has no stand of it's own and most likely has to be kept indoors, you would be better off going with a traditional no frills hoop for the price.
